Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, met with House Democrats yesterday, talking about his trip abroad and his observations.
Obama told the caucus, according to an attendee, "Nobody said this to me directly but I get the feeling from my talks that if the sanctions dont work Israel is going to strike Iran."
The notion that Israel is preparing for such an action against Iran's myriad nuclear facilities is not new, with conjecture heating up in May after an Israeli military exercise featuring 150 aircraft flying almost a thousand miles over the Mediterranean Sea in what was seen as a dress rehearsal for an air strike. Now that the Bush administration is engaged in diplomatic efforts with Iran, many Israeli officials are worried the US is getting soft on Iran, prompting Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak to travel to the US this week to meet with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley. Barak's office released a statement saying "a policy that consists of keeping all options on the table must be maintained."
Another attendee at the meeting of House Democrats recalls Obama saying that the good news is that Obama got the sense that the Arab states understand just how destabilizing a nuclear Iran would be -- a "game changer," Obama said -- because they know Israel would probably strike and that would be bad for everyone.
A senior adviser to Obama told ABC News that Obama was heartened to hear Jordan's King Abdullah share that view with him in their private meeting.
The Obama campaign had no comment.
His next book: “My Audacity Knows No Bounds”
the mullahs aint backin off, they WANT the fairy-tale of the wishing well to be reality...
window dressing diplomacy has about run its course, the world is about to get more 'change' than it bargained for...
Well, Jesse does know how to deal with nuts....
And just what choice do your mooseSlime brothers in arms give them??
March into the sea and die? Hang around and become radioactive vapor?
Hey Bambi..... eff you and your poorfit (Pigs be inseminating him)!
Look at the big brain on Barry.
PS, Mr. I-think-I’m President, It’s usually best to keep your mouth shut about such issues, when you just “have a feeling”. It can cause some international difficulties. But aren’t you the smartest man in the universe and know this?
This is exactly what it is. BHO is clearly prejudice against the Isralies and any Jews, here or abroad. Look for more of this sort of talk from him. Anyone of Jewish heritage is certainly blind if they support him in any manner. In the depth of the souls of Barack and his wife is one huge, noticable trait they share...they are jealous, hate-filled people. That jealousy has driven them all their lives. Everything they do or say is based on those feelings of coveting the white race, and the Jewish people. And they claim to be "spiritual people." Just proof again that Obama and Michelle have never bothered to honor the Ten Commandments. Just review their actions and affiliations and see how many of the Commandments they have broken.
Preferably right before Israel exercises extreme prejudice...
Wait, a nuclear Iran would be bad because it would cause Israel to strike Iran??? They can't be serious, no, actually they can. That is what is so sad, pathetic and scary! God help us if this moron becomes President.
Obama needs to head for Tehran immediately, and take Jimmy Carter with him, you know as an advisor.
Because we all know Jimmah sure understands the Iranians.
Now if everyone is comfortable with the concept of a ‘President Obama’, just feel free to stay home on Election Day and refuse to support the only candidate who can stop Obama, which is John Sydney McCain.
I don’t like the Cranky Ol’ Guy, but my personal preferences have to take a back seat to what is best for my Country, and Obama-lama-ding-dong would NOT be good for my Country were he to be elected President.
Presidents of the United States don’t casually mention “getting a feeling” about imminent major military conflict.
This guy has no business on the national stage unless it is to warm up the crowd for the professionals to follow him.
“I get the feeling”
How’s that worked out for you in the past?
—”Now if Obama would only fly into Tehran with that other well-known world peace negotiator, Jesse Jackson, the world would be a better place. “
Well, Jesse does know how to deal with nuts.... -——
LOL! This was too good.
“Preferably right before Israel exercises extreme prejudice...”
That was a lingering thought. Glad you completed it.
LOOK at the MOCKERY he displayed when he released his Kotel Note...and then allowed a Jewish boy to take the rap!
HE knew he made a mockery out of the Jewish Tradition while at the wall.
BARACKLY MOMENT he is such a Zelig!
Senator Obama: Master of the OBVIOUS
” think gas is the least of our concerns. Because he is playing the roll of president, he now has given iran the perfect reason to bomb Isreal first. This guy is so stupid i can hardly stand it.... and do we publically have these type converstions.
God Please help us ... please”
God Please help us ... please AMEN
fortunately, the next time Israel is attacked, God Himself will take up the defense. No input by Obama needed.
"Nobody said this to me directly but I get the feeling from my talks that if the sanctions donât work Israel is going to strike Iran."continuing, the presidential hopeful said, "also, I've been lurking on FR for the past few months."
